Eyelash extensions with multiple roots

ABSTRACT

Described are eyelash extensions that are formed of multiple filaments attached with one another such that a gap exists between the ends of at least two of the filaments. The filaments can be attached so that the eyelash extension includes multiple roots and/or multiple head, and/or multiple colors. Further, the roots and/or heads can be of different lengths, size, thickness, curvature, etc.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This is a non-provisional application of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/920,288, filed on Dec. 23, 2013, entitled, “Double Tapered Ends.”

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of Invention

The present invention relates to false eyelashes, and more particularly to eyelash extensions having multiple roots for applying the eyelash extensions to a user's eyelashes.

(2) Description of Related Art

Beauty products have long been known in the art. Users, women in particular, have sought a variety of beauty products to enhance their aesthetic, appearance. For example, blush is often used to add color to a woman's cheeks. As another example, lipstick is traditionally used to add a variety of colors and features to a user's lips. To enhance the appearance of a user's eyelashes, the user often applies mascara. Mascara is applied to the user's eyelashes to both thicken and bring color to the eyelashes.

As an alternative to mascara, a user can apply adhesive-backed false eyelashes. The adhesive-backed false eyelashes typically consist of a tape-like material with a plurality of eyelashes affixed thereto. The tape-like material can be applied to the user's eyelid to add the appearance of thick and hill eyelashes.

A problem with adhesive-backed false eyelashes is that they typically do not look natural and because of their bulk, cannot be worn comfortably for extended periods of time.

Therefore, there is a continuing need for eyelash extensions that look, natural and that can be worn comfortably for extended periods of time.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

The present invention is directed to eyelash extensions having double tapered ends for applying the eyelash extensions to a user's eyelashes.

Finally, as can be appreciated by one in the art, the present invention also comprises a method for forming and using the invention described herein.

(1) Description

The present invention relates to false eyelashes, and more particularly to eyelash extensions having multiple roots for applying the eyelash extensions to a user's eyelashes. In short, the eyelash extension is formed of multiple synthetic lashes that are attached to one another using any suitable attachment technique, such as being glued, melted, etc. While some of the individual lashes may be cut to a blunt end, at least one on each end is tapered. Importantly and in another aspect, the eyelash extension is formed of a plurality of individual filaments (e.g., lashes) that are adhered to one another in a manner such that a gap exists between the ends of at least two of the individual filaments, thereby forming multiple roots or, in another aspect, multiple heads, These aspects are depicted further in the figures.

FIG. 1, for example, is an illustration depicting various forms of single lashes that can be joined with one another to form an eyelash extension with multiple roots according to the principles of the present invention. The eyelashes can be formed of any shape, thickness, length, color, curvature, etc., provided that the resulting product is an eyelash extension with multiple roots. For example, the multiple roots lashes can be formed of single eyelashes (filaments) having double tapered ends 100, a regular eyelash 102 having a. tapered end 101 and a blunt end 103, a tapered cut eyelash 104 haying a tapered cut end 105 and a blunt end 107, or a double tapered cut eyelash 106 having two tapered cut ends 109, or a tapered cut tapered lash 110, haying a tapered cut end 112 and a tapered end 114, or any combination thereof Thus, as can be appreciated, the invention can be formed of filaments having any suitable configuration, provided that the resulting eyelash extension has multiple roots.

For example, FIG. 2 is an illustration depicting various lashes with multiple roots and a single head. The eyelash extension can be formed to have any number of roots, non-limiting examples of which include 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. For example, FIG. 2 illustrates an aspect of the eyelash 200 with three roots 202, where two of the roots are tapered ends and one of the roots is a tapered cut. Additionally, illustrated is an aspect of the eyelash 204 with two tapered roots 205. Further, also illustrated is an aspect of the eyelash 206 with three roots 207, where two of the roots are tapered ends and one of the roots is a blunt end. It should also be noted that the individual filaments (e.g., lashes) can be attached with one another such that the root ends either align with one another or protrude to any desired length beyond one another. For example, some of the individual filaments can be shorter or longer than one another to vary the root lengths, as illustrated.

Thus and as noted above, the lashes according to the principles of the present invention are formed by adhering at least two filaments with one another. FIG. 3 provides an illustration clearly depicting the individual filaments as being attached with one another. Although FIG. 3 illustrates individual filaments of various colors, it should be noted that any suitable number, color, shape, curvature, size, thickness, etc. can be incorporated and attached with one another, in any combination thereof, according to the principles of the present invention. As a nonlimiting and as shown in FIG. 3, the individual filaments can be attached with one another to form an eyelash extension that includes multiple roots and multiple heads (e.g., with a gap existing between the head tips to form the multiple heads). For example, the individual filaments can be attached such that the heads of each filament are approximately even 300 with one another, are uneven 302 with different lengths, are of different lengths and protrude from one another to form multiple heads of different lengths 304, and are of similar lengths yet. protrude from one another to form multiple heads of similar lengths 306, or any combination thereof. Thus, any desired number of filaments, of varying lengths, attachment points, colors, etc., can be attached with one another. For example and as illustrated in FIG. 4, the filaments can be attached with one another to form multiple roots with multiple heads 400. The non-limiting examples as illustrated in FIG. 4 depict three roots with three heads, however, it should be understood that any desired number of filaments can be attached, with the filaments attached in any desired configuration and combination. 

What is claimed is:
 1. An eyelash extension with multiple roots, comprising: a plurality of filaments adhered to one another such that a gap exists between the ends of at least two of the filaments.
 2. The eyelash extension as set forth in claim 1, wherein the ends of at least two of the filaments are roots, forming an eyelash extension with multiple roots.
 3. The eyelash extension as set forth in claim 2, wherein the ends of at least two of the filaments are heads, forming an eyelash extension with multiple heads.
 4. The eyelash extension as set forth in claim 3, wherein the filaments are of different lengths.
 5. The eyelash extension as set forth in claim 4, wherein the filaments are formed of different colors.
